Measure first
A car needs roughly 4.8 metres by 2.4 metres, with extra width to open doors. Many councils set their own minimums, so check. See how wide should a driveway be?.
Keep some green
Planting strips, hedges or planters soften the look and help with drainage and privacy.
Choose a light, simple surface
Resin, tidy block paving or gravel with a grid keep a small space looking clean and uncluttered.
Use borders to define the space
A contrasting border or setts can separate the drive from the path and bins.
Plan for bins and bikes
Hide storage behind screens or in a bin store so the drive does not look cluttered.
Check the rules
You still need a dropped kerb and a compliant surface. See can I park on my front garden?.
